    This was a clean-room implementation (Claude did not have internet access at any point during its development);

    Sauntering into the clean room nonchalantly with 16 encyclopedias and the code listing for every program ever written hidden under my hat. i-made-this

      The paragraph before:

      Over nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions across two weeks, Opus 4.6 consumed 2 billion input tokens and generated 140 million output tokens, a total cost just under $20,000. Compared to even the most expensive Claude Max plans, this was an extremely expensive project. But that total is a fraction of what it would cost me to produce this myself—let alone an entire team.

      Saying the quiet part out loud about how they want to eliminate labor. Also I highly doubt that its a “fraction” of what human labor would have cost and I also doubt that the slopfest codebase it produced that chokes a 50 times slower compilation is competitive with a small team of CS undergrads who learn the same thing in class.

        goes on to say

        The Rust code quality is reasonable, but is nowhere near the quality of what an expert Rust programmer might produce.

        Isn’t that like, the most basic concept of a capitalist market economy? That low quality goods are less expensive than high quality goods?

        I can’t believe these bozos scraped Annas Archive and still have to learn the hard way! Fuckin rich kids.
